12.10 Southwell 32Red Handicap (Div I) 6f On ATR Card page 26 **Key
stat Barry McHugh and Richard Fahey are 6-10 when joining forces at
Southwell this season for a level-stakes profit of pounds 25.58. They
team up with Sir Louis **What they say Richard Guest, trainer of Bravo
King and Captain Scooby "Bravo King is in good form but he
disappointed last time when we took him all the way to Ffos Las.
It's his first run at Southwell, which is like Marmite - they
either love it or hate it. We are hopeful rather than confident. Captain
Scooby is by Captain Rio, whose progeny have a great record on
Fibresand. He ran well over five furlongs there last time and if he gets
the extra furlong I expect him to be bang there."

Mark Brisbourne, trainer of Rowan Spirit "Our division of the
race looks a lot tougher than the other one. He's gone up 3lb for
being second there last time and never runs a bad race. We have a solid
chance of making the frame."

John Spearing, trainer of Equuleus Pictor "He disappointed
over course and distance last time and I don't know why. He has
winning form on the surface but this race does have a competitive look
to it."

John Balding, trainer of Sleepy Blue Ocean "It looks as though
we are in the stiffer division of the race but he knows his way round
Southwell and has a squeak from a good draw."

Kevin Ryan, trainer of Oldjoesaid "He's in good form but
it depends which Oldjoesaid turns up."

Alan McCabe, trainer of Il Battista "He's something of a
course specialist and his two-year-old form at the track was excellent.
It's a better race than he won last time but he has a good chance
of following up."

Ian Williams, trainer of Tourist "It's good prize-money
but it's a competitive race. It will be interesting to see how he
gets on as we haven't run him on the surface before."
